In the first inning of Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper hit a milestone home run that turned some heads around baseball.

The 439-foot homer is Harper's 350th of his career, becoming the youngest active player to reach the career mark at 32.

The shot off Harper's bat turned some heads for reasons beyond the milestone, though, as it went 439 feet and came off the bat at 110.8 mph.

Harper now joins a list of just eight active players to reach the career milestone; (Giancarlo Staton, 434; Mike Trout 395; Paul Goldschmidt, 370; Manny Machado, 360; Freddie Freeman, 353; Nolan Arenado, 351; Aaron Judge, 351)

The home run comes as Harper's second since the All-Star break.

Earlier in the first inning, Kyle Schwarber launched a 409-foot blast to ring the bell in Citizens Bank Park and score Trea Turner from first base. The hot streak from both power hitters put the Phillies ahead, 3-0, after the first inning.
